Period properties are a staple in the landscape of Chelsea, with renovation work constantly being done to maintain authentic exteriors and update the interiors of both residential and commercial spaces across the central London district. Known for its elegant surroundings and proximity to central London, Chelsea is a prime location for those looking to benefit from London’s mix of old and new – but for those purchasing older properties, there are often more things to think about and be aware of than aesthetic details and decorative features.
If you live in or are purchasing a property which was built prior to 2000, then there is a high chance that asbestos may have been a key material used in the construction process. Now, as per regulations, you are advised to book an asbestos survey in Chelsea to identify the presence of the material and uncover the ideal plan moving forward, to ensure the safety of your family and your home. So, what does the survey involve?
Understanding asbestos surveys
When you reach out to the team and ask for an asbestos survey, we will have a consultant with you within a single working day. From there, we will be able to build a report which outlines whether asbestos is present, and which shares information on its stability and status in the property – i.e. whether it is intact or has been damaged. This is crucial because intact asbestos is relatively harmless, while material which has been broken could be brushing harmful microfibres into the air which, when breathed in, can be extremely hazardous to humans. From there, we will continue under an asbestos management survey or an asbestos removal survey and service.
